STERLING LIMOUSINE AND TRANSPORTATION PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Sterling Limo Offensive Player of the Week:First star: Adonis Hunter, Cheltenham – The Panthers’ quarterback was a perfect 8-for-8 for 238 yards and three touchdowns, including two TD passes of over 50 yards. He also had a rushing touchdown, accounting for all four touchdowns in Cheltenham’s 28-14 come-from-behind win over Plymouth Whitemarsh.Coach Ryan Nase says: “Adonis has had his struggles over the last two seasons, especially with touch and accuracy, but one of the things he’s always done – he’s been able to throw a deep ball. We have guys out on the edge who can really run. For whatever reason, Plymouth Whitemarsh made the decision they were going to challenge us to beat them on the outside, and we did. Finally having a dry ball and being able to play on turf - which is huge for us with the speed we have as a team not just out on the edge – was big, and Adonis was able to use his strengths to help us as a team.”

Second star: Caleb Mead, Upper Moreland – The senior running back had 270 yards and four touchdowns on 27 carries to lead Upper Moreland to a 25-15 win over Wissahickon.

Second star: Evan O’Donnell & Chris Lochetta, Central Bucks East – O’Donnell was 19-for-25 for 220 yards and a touchdown while Lochetta had seven receptions for 116 yards and one TD in Central Bucks East’s 27-20 win over Central Bucks West.
